FUERTEVENTURA... LA ABUELA/OLD LADY

NOW IM ALSO GOING TO START TRYING TO WRITE MY STORIES IN SPANISH FOR THE SPANISH SPEAKING HOMIES . . .

A PARTIR DE AHORA TAMBIEN ESCRIBIRE MIS ESTORIAS EN ESPANOL POR MIS AMIGOS QUE HABLAN ESPANOL!!! ESPERO QUE OS GUSTE ! ! !

MIENTRAS ESTABAMOS PATINANDO EN EL SKATEPARK DE LA OLIVA MARYJANE CONOCIO UNA SENORA MAYOR QUE NOS INVITO A SU CASA PARA TOMAR FOTOS. LAS HABATACIONES ERAN ANTIGUAS CON MUCHOS PELUCHES EN LAS CAMAS Y SOFAS PARA REEMPLAZAR LOS HIJOS QUE SE HABIAN IDO A VIVIR A OTRAS ISLAS. TAMBIEN HABIA MUCHAS FOTOS, CRUCES Y RELIQUIAS CATOLICAS POR TODA LA CASA. LA VIEJECITA ERA MUY SIMPATICA Y COMPLACIENTE PERO EN LAS FOTOS SE PUEDE VER QUE ERA CIEGA Y SORDA YA QUE SUS OJOS CANSADOS NO VEIAN EL OBJECTIVO DE LA CAMERA. NOS SENTIMOS MUY MAL POR LA MUJER, ESTABA MUY SOLA, EN UNA CASA LLENA DE PELUCHES TRATANDO DE LLENAR EL VACIO DE SU FAMILIA.

WHEN WE WERE SKATING A SKATEPARK IN LA OLIVA, MARY JANE MET AN OLD LADY WHO INVITED US TO HER HOUSE TO TAKE PHOTOS. THE HOUSE WAS VERY OLD AND THE BEDROOMS WERE VERY ANTIQUE WITH LOTS OF STUFFED ANIMALS IN THE BEDS TO REPLACE HER CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN WHO ARE NO LONGER THERE. THERE WAS LOTS OF PHOTOS OF HER CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN AND SHE TOLD US THAT ALL HER FAMILY HAD MOVED TO GRAN CANARIA. THERE WAS ALSO A LOT OF CATHOLIC FIGURES AND PICTURES THROUGH OUT THE HOUSE. THE LADY WAS VERY KIND AND WELCOMING BUT UNFORTUNATELY YOU CAN SEE IN THE PORTRAITS THAT SHE IS BLIND AND DEAF AS HER DARK TIRED EYES CANT KEEP FOCUS ON WERE THE CAMERA IS. IT WAS VERY SAD TO SEE THIS OLD LADY WAS VERY LONELY IN HER OLD HOUSE WITH HER STUFFED ANIMALS.

GRAN CANARIA, FUERTEVENTURA.

THERES NOTHING BETTER THEN ESCAPING THE WINTER CHILL. ALTHOUGH BARCELONA DOESNT SUFFER A WINTER QUITE AS HARSH AS THE REST OF EUROPE WE DECIDED TO GO THE CANARY ISLANDS FOR 2 WEEKS TO KICK START THE SUMMER ! THE CANARY ISLANDS ARE A GROUP OF SPANISH ISLANDS SITUATED OFF THE NORTH-WEST COAST OF AFRICA STARTING ONLY 100KMS WEST OF THE BORDER BETWEEN MOROCCO AND THE WESTERN SAHARA. THEY ARE SURROUNDED BY THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AND HAVE A SUBTROPICAL CLIMATE. IN TOTAL THERES 13 ISLANDS & ISLETS AND ON OUR TRIP WE HAVE DECIDED TO VISIT 2 OF THEM; FIRST STOP FUERTEVENTURA FOLLOWED BY GRAN CANARIA.
IT WAS STRAIGHT OFF THE PLANE AND STRAIGHT INTO AN ABANDONED BEACHFRONT HOTEL. THE AMOUNT OF ABANDONED/ UN-OCCUPIED BEACH FRONT PROPERTIES IN FUERTEVENTURA IS SIMPLY MIND BLOWING. THE TEMPERATURE WAS ALREADY NOTICEABLY 5-8 DEGREES WARMER THEN BARCELONA EVEN THOUGH THE SUN WAS FADING INTO THE ATLANTIC. YOU CAN SEE THE DELIGHT IN MARYS FACE WHEN SHE ROSE THE FOLLOWING MORNING WITH A FACE FULL OF SUN!!!
FORTUNATELY WE WERE STAYING WITH MY FRIEND JAVI, ALBA AND SUIT (THEIR AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG) IN CORRLEJO. THANKS SO MUCH FOR HELPING US OUT GUYS!!! WE HIRED A CAR AND WENT FOR A LITTLE DRIVE AROUND TOWN. CORRALEJO IS A NICE LITTLE TOWN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR US THE NEW SKATEPARK (WHICH IS FINISHED) IS UN-SKATE-ABLE UNTIL THE OFFICIAL OPENING! WE TRIED TO BARGE IT BUT THE SECURITY MAN WOULDNT NOT HAVE A SLICE OF IT. BUMMMMMING! JAVI NEW OF A NICE LITTLE SKATEPARK 20 MINS DRIVE AWAY WITH A LITTLE BANK TO CURB. BUT ON THE WAY SEEINGS WE ARE IN THE 25 DEGREE HEAT WE DECIDED TO GO FOR A SWIM WHILE JAVI GAVE MILES A LESSON IN BEACH TENNIS, WHICH IS VERY POPULAR DOWN HERE!!! AFTER A MUCH NEEDED DIP WE HIT THE SKATEBOARD FOR A LITTLE SHRED AND THEN JAVI TOOK US TO THE OTHER SIDE DOF THE ISLAND TO WATCH THE SUNSET . . .

KIRIL IS A STRAIGHT BOSS. MINI SANDWICH STACKS FOR BREAKFAST AND WE WERE OFF TO SHRED. THERE WAS A REALLY FUN LITTLE SKATE SPOT IN THE CITY. THIS GYPSY KID WITH THE TATTOOS GAVE ME A RED FLANNEL HOODIE! SO I BOUGHT HIM SOME BEER AND VODKA IN RETURN, THE DAY TOOK A QUICK TURN FOR THE BETTER! WE HOOKED UP WITH SANTOS IN THE AFTERNOON AFTER A CHEEKY LITTLE KEBAB. WE BOMBED THROUGH THE STREETS HEADING TO A PARTY AT AN INDOOR BOWL . THE BOWL WAS IN AN OLD ASS INDUSTRIAL AREA. IT REALLY FELT LIKE WE WERE DEEP IN EASTERN EUROPE. THERE WAS SOME SKETCHY LOOKING SECURITY SIMILAR TO BORDER CONTROL AT CERTAIN POINTS ON THE STREET. BEOFRE WE ARRIVED WE HIT THE LOCAL WORKERS BAR. PLAYED SOME GAMES OF POOL, DRANK THE LOCAL DRANK AND KICKED IT WITH SALTY DOGS.. THE BOWL WAS AMMMMAZING AND WE ENDED UP SHREDDING IT DEEP INTO THE NIGHT. YURA THE YOUNG RUSSIAN KID WAS THROWING HIS CARCUS ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SESSION WAS WHEN HE OLLIED A HUGE 5 STAIR. EVERYONES SPIRITS WERE HIGH AND IT WAS TIME TO HIT THE CITY FOR SOME PARTYING! (:
